The plan is to gather water and sand from each coast. You will not be able to
ride your bikes on the sand, nor would you probably want to. The idea is to get gas
receipt, drive the block or two to the ocean, hop off and get sand and water, and
then head out. At the other end, gather water and sand and then gas up. The idea
is that we will have gone truly from coast to coast in less than 50 hours. Some
riders may elect to get the sand and water before the receipt at the start and after
the receipt at the end. This is your call. Just keep in mind the spirit of the ride.

The rules for this ride are fairly simple:

First, the
Iron Butt Association's 50CC Rules or the
IBA 100CCC rules should be read and understood. The IBA's rules for the
50CC & 100CCC govern this ride. Second, as the sponsoring organization, the
MTF may require prerequisites greater than those stipulated by the IBA.

For this event the MTF has determined the prerequisites are:

50CC:

IBA Membership

100CCC:

BBG - or -a certified IBA ride
of 2000 miles or more - or -a qualifying
rally as determined by the event coordinator - Generally, a qualifying

MTF's Long Distance Ride Philosophy

Group riding typically refers to large groups of bikes riding together
in a pack. MTF Long Distance rides are not "group rides." Rather, each ride is a
"mass ride." Mass ride is a term coined and used in the long distance community
and refers to a ride where all riders start from the same location, begin at roughly
the same time, follow the same route and end the ride at the same destination.

For various reasons the MTF does not encourage groups of more than three riders
while particpating in an MTF Long Distance event. The major reasons deal with safety,
but in the end, each rider makes his/her own decision to ride with others or not.
If you're riding with others, here are some things to consider:

What happens when someone breaks down? While being on the side of the road
sucks, remember the people with you and what it must feel like for them. If
your safety is not in jeapordy, will the other riders carry on?

If riding with others isn't working out, don't be afraid to wave them off
and carry on at your desired pace rather than allow yourself to get frustrated.
In the end, each rider is responsible for their own ride. In the words of an
LD rider, "Everyone gets tired at different times, or gets hungry or even
has to pee at different times. It's YOUR ride and it really isn't much fun when
you are sitting on the side of the road waiting for your riding partner who
is taking a quick nap."

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these rides be certified by the Iron Butt Association or the
Motorcycle Tourer's Association?

The ride will be certified by the IBA. The MTF does not certify rides. The
MTF has a long standing relationship with the IBA and has sponsored many IBA
rides. The MTF assists with logistics, such as route planning and witnesses;
collects and validates the documentation; and then submits the ride to the IBA
for certification.

How often am I required to stop?In addition to mandatory stops
listed on the website, the IBA requires riders to stop a minimum of every 300
miles.

Do I have to record all of my stops and keep all receipts?

You must record ALL gas stops and any other stop longer than 20 minutes.
You must keep and submit official receipts (Location, City, State, Date, and
Time) for ALL gas stops and any lodging stops that you might make during the
ride. It is not necessary that you maintain and submit receipts for such things
as foods and snacks (unless you are using this receipt to document a mandatory
stop).

In the even that you run out of gas and acquire extra gas (e.g.
passerby or MSR bottles) you must document the amount of gas that you obtained.
In the case of MSR bottles, if you refill them at the next stop you must document
this as well.

What are the rider's responsibilities?

Riders will be required to acknowledge their responsibilities during
the registration process. Each rider is responsible for their own ride.
Safety is of primary importance.

safe condition, in full compliance with all rules and laws governing such

all such safety clothing and gear including, but not limited to, a DOT approved

the logistics by planning a route and arranging for witnesses, however,
the Participant is responsible for the ride. Safety is of primary importance.
